Hi,

In any case, given that we have no proper global registry, and we have lots of cross-region routes ("addresses from RIR A, AS number from RIR B"), we need to find a way to document these properly.

My preference would be to start such a global registry. I would love it if at least RIPE, APNIC and AFRINIC (who all use very similar data models IIRC) could combine databases. Having separate (but in reality partially overlapping) databases for a global resource will always result in discussions like we have had over the last two+ years IMHO. Let's make an effort to form a single point of reference. Cheers, Sander
